I've got a story. Tell me if you've heard it...
A team stuck in the doldrums for a very long time has a shot at the first pick in the draft and an opportunity to get a potentially game-changing big man. But, led by a rookie coach and a part-time rookie executive, they win two of their last three games and don't end up with the worst record. Fast forward a month and they end up as the only team that moves backwards in the lottery. So, now, rather than probably drafting first, they are sitting at four.
Karma is a bitch.
Well, with all that as prelude, this Thursday is the coronation of what has been a terrible offseason already for the Knicks. And the Warriors only put the final stamp on a title less than a week ago.
Since Karl-Anthony Towns is no longer an option, I hope the Knicks end up with his frontcourt mate from Kentucky, Willie Cauley-Stein. He is a defensive stud and the Knicks could really use one of those. But, now, since I said it, assuredly it will not happen.
